Impact aid program, title VII, section 7003

The Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education awarded Fairfax County Public Schools $3.232 million on October 1, 2025, under the Impact Aid Program, Title VII, Section 7003 (CFDA 84.041), supporting comprehensive K-12 services for military-connected students and children of federal employees across Northern Virginia through September 30, 2031.

Impact Aid provides financial assistance to school districts whose tax bases are reduced by federal property acquisition or whose student populations include federally connected children living on or whose parents work on federal property or are on active duty in the uniformed services. Section 7003 eligibility requires that at least three percent or 400 of the total number of eligible federally connected children in average daily attendance live on federal property, including Indian lands, or have a parent employed on federal property or on active duty. Payments are computed using a statutory formula and made annually to eligible LEAs; if appropriations are insufficient, payments are prorated.

Work is performed in Falls Church, Virginia. The award is a Project Grant assistance type with a six-year period of performance.
